“…Thin film finds another application in water purification and it can reduce the size of purification unit and also increases the efficiency such as in membrane technology and also fabrication of photocatalyst thin film for water treatment [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Thin film is very useful in wastewater treatment where the application of nanomaterial as a photocatalyst for pollution abatement is needed [44][45][46][47]. Applications of a thin film instead of nanopowder have been reported to be an effective method which immobilizes the nanomaterial on a surface of substrates and avoid the cumbersome separation of nanosize materials form water and wastewater.…”

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an ultra-thin film deposition technique that has found many applications owing to its distinct abilities. They include uniform deposition of conformal films with controllable thickness, even on complex three-dimensional surfaces, and can improve the efficiency of electronic devices. This technology has attracted significant interest both for fundamental understanding how the new functional materials can be synthesized by ALD and for numerous practical applications, particularly in advanced nanopatterning for microelectronics, energy storage systems, desalinations, catalysis and medical fields. This review introduces the progress made in ALD, both for computational and experimental methodologies, and provides an outlook of this emerging technology in comparison with other film deposition methods. It discusses experimental approaches and factors that affect the deposition and presents simulation methods, such as molecular dynamics and computational fluid dynamics, which help determine and predict effective ways to optimize ALD processes, hence enabling the reduction in cost, energy waste and adverse environmental impacts. Specific examples are chosen to illustrate the progress in ALD processes and applications that showed a considerable impact on other technologies.
